What would be your code to solve Josephus Problem? It's an interesting one...

100 people are standing in a circle. The first person has a knife. He kills the next person (2nd person) and gives the knife to the next alive (3rd person). This continues... Who would survive?

My solution is based on a mathematical approach. There's no container of indices in my code. https://code.sololearn.com/cSt4G6jW1HMn/?ref=app
